Continuity: At time marker 10 minutes, Abby and Randall are having dinner with champagne. While the camera is at Abby's back her glass is 1/2 full, the camera then cuts to Randall's back, and her glass is now only 1/4 full... She takes a sip at this point and upon placing her glass back down the camera angle changes again and her glass is now magically 3/4 full. Once again the camera angle changes again immediately after, and her glass is back to being 1/4 full. moreSoundtrack:

I'd never heard of this movie until it showed up on DVD sites a couple of weeks ago. Then I read the comments here and thought, "Pass." But there was not much to choose from the other night, and the suspense/mystery/thriller genre is my favotire these days, so ... I picked it up. Glad I did because my wife and I enjoyed the movie. Certainly not a GREAT film, but very good. I liked the story, the film was nice and short, good characters. And we loved the ending and the twists. They were very clever. Overall, a solid suspense drama. Too bad this film didn't get released. Saw 4, on the other hand, goes wide and makes a ton.
